The Things You Hear at a Local Government Selection Meeting...

I have just returned from the Chatham & Aylesford Local Government Committee where Members were interviewing three new applicants and one incumbent councillor for the Approved List. Interview Number Two:LGC Member: "Have we met before...?"Applicant: "Yes, last year you apologised when you overcooked my sausage."Interview Number Four:LGC Member: "It must be quite a struggle being so vast...?"Applicant: "Yes, as you might know I have the largest one this end of Kent."

I am pleased to set the record straight. Applicant Two was talking about last year's Association Barbecue and Applicant Four was referring the the size of his Division.
